Genshin Impact Version 6.0 Leaks Reveal Nasha Town and Nod-Krai Locations
Recent leaks from Genshin Impact's beta servers suggest the locations of Nasha Town and Nod-Krai, both anticipated for Version 6.0. While development on Natlan continues, beta builds are increasingly incorporating placeholders for Snezhnaya, the Cryo Nation ruled by the Tsaritsa. Snezhnaya's immense size—potentially surpassing Sumeru and Liyue—necessitates a regional division, spanning westward from Natlan and encompassing Fontaine to the north.
Previous leaks hinted at Nod-Krai as a separate region in Version 6.0; however, recent datamining confirms its placement. As an autonomous Snezhnayan province and vital trade hub, Nod-Krai connects the Cryo Nation to the rest of Teyvat. Liben's statements place Nod-Krai in Snezhnaya's south, suggesting player access via Fontaine or Natlan.
Leakflow, Extra, and footage from The_Strifemaster (from the Version 5.4 beta) reveal a placeholder landmass beneath Fontaine's western waterfalls. This landmass appears connected to Mont Esus, a rumored Fontaine expansion. While this doesn't confirm Mont Esus's release timeframe, the evidence strongly points towards Nasha Town and Nod-Krai.
Exploring Nod-Krai: A Lawless Province
Nod-Krai, a region and city bordering southern Snezhnaya, is known for its lawlessness, despite some order maintained by the Voynich Guild. A significant Fatui stronghold, led by the popular Harbinger Dottore, operates within Nod-Krai. Nasha Town is a key settlement, and its inhabitants reportedly wield a power predating Teyvat's seven Elements.
Dividing Snezhnaya into multiple releases, while potentially controversial, is likely necessary due to its scale. Completing such a vast region within a single year presents significant narrative and developmental challenges. With Natlan's Archon Quest concluding in Version 5.3, subsequent updates will gradually introduce Snezhnaya. While Capitano's fate remains unclear, Natlan will introduce Skirk, a playable character with ties to Khaenri'ah's Five Sinners. Barring delays, Version 6.0 is projected for September 10, 2025.
